The SG Faded brings legendary Gibson SG performance alive with a spirited, worn finish. Simple style comes from the faded gloss-nitro finish and classic dot inlays. A SlimTaper neck, mahogany body, maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, and classic PAF humbucking pickups deliver the signature sound and feel of the great SG of the past six decades. Includes softshell case.
